UCS Lowestoft’s Holistic Therapies Foundation degree students organised an Awareness to Wellness Day designed to give people the chance to sample some of the treatments available.

The day was free to attend but £60 was raised for the Palliative Care East Centre at the James Paget Hospital through donations. Mary Pretswell, Curriculum Manager for Care and Creative Studies, said: “The day was to give people a greater understanding of the range of holistic therapies that are available. The students worked hard to arrange a variety of treatments and activities including some of the more well known ones like reflexology, massage and yoga as well as the more unusual sound therapy, which is an ancient form of therapy. The students really enjoyed the day and are now looking into making it an annual event.”
